Since I'd like to get two kits built, I started a bit early to work on my group build model(s). Unlike some, I just can't do two models at once - my brain just won't focus that way no matter how hard I try to do so. So today I started the preliminary work on this kit:

My work focused on three tasks: Prepaint the wings, tanks, bombs, and horizontal control surfaces.

Then I masked and painted the red and white rudder and the olive drab coloring on the fuselage;

And lastly, I masked, painted, and decaled the nose. Since the decals are over 60 years old and looked to be in extremely bad shape, I wanted to be sure the chief head marking would be usable. Thankfully, I was able to save these markings and was able to use them.

Now I will begin painting the zinc chromate interiors and start to build the cockpit, landing gear, and wings.
